Pullback of U.S. forces from S. Korea urged

KCNA

    Pyongyang, July 2 (KCNA) -- The Asian Regional Committee for Supporting Korea's Reunification, the All India Indo-Korean Friendship Association and the Indian Committee for Supporting Korea's Reunification in a joint statement on June 24 demanded the withdrawal of the U.S. military bases and forces from South Korea on the occasion of the Month of Anti-U.S. Joint Struggle (June 25-July 27). The statement said that June 25, 1950 was the day the United States unleashed a despicable war of aggression against the Korean people and July 27, 1953 was the day the Korean people won a victory in the war by defeating the U.S. imperialists.
    Referring to the proposals for the independent and peaceful reunification of the country advanced by President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il and the struggle of the Korean people for materializing them, the statement said: We express great concern about the U.S. moves to ignite an all-out war against the DPRK, a peace-loving socialist country, by using modern weapons of mass destruction in disregard of the world opinion and violation of international law.
    Once a war breaks out on the Korean peninsula, it will be a nuclear war which will not be confined to the peninsula but will spill over into other regions to bring a horrible nuclear holocaust to humankind and the u.s. will not escape responsibility for this.
    The continued presence in South Korea of the U.S. imperialist aggression forces equipped with modern weapons poses a constant threat to the Korean peninsula and lays a main obstacle to the peaceful reunification of Korea.
    We extend firm solidarity to the Korean people in their just struggle to improve the inter-Korean ties and achieve the peaceful reunification of the country.
